"Find"

 Of the angles that the Very Stable Genius tried during his Saturday phone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, from extortion ("it's gonna be costly to you") to an appeal to Raffensperger to gloss over niceties such as certified election numbers ("There's nothing wrong with you saying that, you know, that you've recalculated") to begging ("Fellas, I need 11,000 votes. Give me a break"), what has stuck in my mind is the use of the word "find," as in "find 11,780 votes."

It is so inconceivable to the VSG that he really lost that he'll pressure people to pull the imaginary set of circumstances he's looking for out of thin air.

It all sheds a bit of new light on the impeachment proceedings of a year ago and the way the VSG had behaved toward the Ukraine president in the previous summer's phone call on which impeachment was predicated. 

Exit question: Do 11 Senators and 140 House members still intend to cause chaos on electoral-votes-counting day, in the wake of this astonishing conversation?

Are they still willing to hitch their wagons to this figure who, daily, ensures an-ever-less-favorable assessment by history of his time in this office?

16 days out from inauguration and we have a full-blown constitutional crisis on our hands. 

Because the VSG is a big baby with a dangerous amount of power.
